Input Required Field Resolution For Free - Input Required

The "Resolution" field is an important feature in Jira. It specifies the reason an issue is closed and removes the need of having multiple statuses with the purpose of stating why the issue is closed, thus capturing important data for your team while reducing the time you have to manage your workflow.

This work around worked for me. Remove the Resolution field from all views but the Closed screen. Remove the default value for the Resolution field. Set a Validator up so that the Resolution field must be changed when transitioning to Closed.

Some best practices to prevent your issues from having a mistakenly set resolution, or/and the appropriate one are: Create a post function on the transition that leads to the "Done" status to set the resolution as something fixed: By doing to you are setting an appropriate and acceptable resolution.

Resolution Set Using a POST Function Locate your Workflow: > Issues > Workflows. Click Edit under Actions for your workflow. Select your "Done" transition, and Click POST Functions. Click 'Add POST Function > Select 'Update Issue Field' Select Resolution for Issue Field and the appropriate Field Value.

Open any impacted issue in the Jira issue view, and then transition them using the 'Fix Resolution' transition. This will reset the field to the desired resolution for all these issues. Alternatively, you can use a Bulk Operation to edit all the impacted issues and transition them using the 'Fix Resolution' transition.
